As the Macedonians advance into Phoenecia, the ancient city of Tyros refuses to surrender to the Macedonians.
Using the recently developed siege tactics, the Macedonians start building a dam between the mainland and the island, on
which Tyros is situated, in order to move the siege engines to the walls. The Tyrans use strong ballistae placed inside the walls to take out the attackers before they can reach the city itself. The question is wether this really helps against the masses of soldiers storming against the fortress. The Phoenecian fleet is nearly powerless and runs in danger of being destroyed in port.
^
Meanwhile, Persian envoys are received by the Macedonians. The Great King offers friendship and alliances as well as the
entire western part of the empire, including Egypt, for the retun of his family. Alexander refuses, eager to meet the King in person.
